Captivating Crumpled Portraits by Vesna Burisch

Italian artist Vesna Bursich has used realist painting and abstraction in her latest work made with crumpled paper. The pieces are strategically placed in environments, giving the collection an additional depth of meaning.

Vesna Bursich uses abstraction to incorporate dark tones into her work which add to the captivating allure of her work. The placement of each piece in scenery and the shadow-like layers of each piece give the viewer the impression of narrative, motion, and memory.

Bursich's website says, "Although her works are not always immediately understandable, they will make your eyes lingering to observe, moving a memory deep in your heart, a memory that could be a question or an answer, a suggestion or a blame."
